Son of Man vs. Son of God
 
Last night, I was on Netflix watching the film "The Gospel of John" with the actor from Lost (Henry Ian Cusick) playing Jesus (he's great btw). So, my question...When Christ refers to himself as the Son of Man, what exactly does he mean? Shouldn't he always refer to himself as the Son of God? I'm not a bigtime Bible scholar, so I thought I'd pose the question here.

Son of man refers to his connection with Humanity. The terms Son of God and Son of man are interchangeable to Christ's person, but do pertain to different aspects of Christ's person.

Son of Father

Son of Mother

Similar to that

Son of man refers to His humanity or humanness or the fact that He has a human spirit, soul, and body.
Son of God refers to the fact that God the Father/Holy Ghost performed the act of paternity which caused His Mother Mary to conceive Him.

Whatsoever is born of flesh is flesh and whatsoever is born of spirit is spirit. Therefore, the term "Son of Man" refers to His humanity and likewise "Son of God" refers to His Deity.
As the Son of Man He was hungry and yet as the Son of God He was the Bread of Life.

In the eyes of some of the "holiness" folks of His day, He was a sinner because He did not live according to their "standards"

Because he was the second Adam. .Adams are created pure.. the first chose to sin.. the second did not.
